Wise orders
moratorium
Agriculture Minister John Wise has
declared an immediate moratorium
on Farm Credit Corporation (FCC)
foreclosure actions.
"I want to make sure that no
farmer will be forced off the farm
while I am reviewing the role and
mandate of FCC, the Bruce -Grey
Debt Review Board pilot project
report and reports from FCC Appeal
Board Chairmen.
"I want to make sure that those in-
dividuals who might be assisted by
new initiatives will have that oppor-
tunity," explained Wise.
As of today, there are approximate-
ly 670 FCC foreclosure cases in pro-
gress which will be put on hold. Over
the past six months FCC has initiated
an average of 14 foreclosure actions
a week. Recovery actions will con-
tinue in cases where the farm has
been abandoned, where bankruptcy
has been declared, where there has
been a voluntary transfer of title or
quit claim or where recovery action
is initiated by another creditor forc-
ing FCC to protect its security.

pound. Rob Passmore's reserve
champion went to Exeter Co -Op for
86t. Third place finisher Tom
Passmore received 83t from Veal's
Meat Market.
Last year, the winner received $1.59
per pound and the reserve sold for
$1.10.
In addition to having the top
animal, Jon Ellerington was judged
junior showman, with Brad Hern in
second. Joe Gower was the senior
showman and Lisa Hern was runner-
up.
The latter's entry topped the gain
division. Her calf gained 535 pounds
